____________________long, hard, road out of hell - by adire___

Silence.

Throbbing.

Blade-hilt cold in your hand, skin warm against smooth metal.

I want to fly into your sun
I need fear to make me numb....

....and dance.

Live like a teenage christ,
I'm a saint, got a date with suicide...

Music flows like water, steel edge slicing through flesh, through bone. Silken gouts of red. Smooth, beautiful. Yes, Shinji. Yes. Turn and twist and drift, blade-slash swift and silver bright...yes, Shinji. Kill.

Oh Mary, Mary
To be this young is oh-so-scary

....you can't survive this many....

Mary, Mary
To be this young, I'm oh-so-scared

Move, Shinji. Dance in silence. Only you can hear the music in their screams. Another...graceful fall. Ivory-white leaf dancing in the wind, vinyl-shroud, black liquid, its caress so cold. Swirling shadows follow...and strike.

I want to live, I want to love,
But it's a long, hard road out of Hell

Power...siren-song power, high and ringing, metal striking crystal...another falls. Turn, Shinji, turn.....terrible beauty, can they see the silver death in your eyes? Can they dance with you? Dance the dance of shattered glass, sing the song of silent death...Black-winged bird you are....and they cry as the raptor strikes.

You never said forever could ever hurt like this....

Passion....crimson passion, liquid velvet, boiling molten quicksilver in your blood....

Do me....

What am I?

Spin my way out of Hell
There's nothing left of this soul to sell

Don't, Shinji...don't ask. Turn and whirl and dance, spin the wheel of time, beautiful spectre of Death. Pale flower with your deadly poison...lovely and lethal....you are what they can never be, child of the damned.

I live fast, I die fast too
How many times I do this for you....

Empty heart, empty soul, waiting to be filled. Scarlet washes, warm and womb-wet, enclosing, soothing away the pain. Swiftly spinning, moon-child, night-child, you can never die. Fly, fly on wings of black, and strike again. Again....bright ribbons of vermilion. No fear. No pain.

I want to live, I want to love
But it's a long, hard road out of Hell...

I want to live....

You never said forever could ever hurt like this....

I want to love...

You never said forever could ever hurt like this....

I want to die.

Bright blade-flash, softscreaming dying. The dancer stands alone.....

.....always alone.

Kill, Shinji-kun.

Kill.
